[Western] Missive to HE Gavin

[muirghein]

Perhaps, good Baron, you might have a word with your wall-builders, as
clearly, they misheard your directives and built the wall much too far
south, ON TRELAC LANDS! It was the duty of the Civic Guard to tear down such
an invasion of our lands. And worst of all, it cut us off from our best herd
of donkeys! These prized creatures had to be wrested from the thieving hands
of men who were clearly from Bonwicke, as they rode in red, green and gold
livery! I believe the Queen's directive was to build the wall to the WEST,
to protect the borders of Ansteorra, not the SOUTH to invade your neighbors!


So say I, Lady Muirghein MacKiernan, Captain of the Civic Guard of Trelac

  My Good and Dear Friend,
You seem so quick to take offense and give it as well. The fence was just a 
small border fence, using just a few of the bricks my Brothers from the 
North gave me. When I received this gift, Her Majesty told me to build a 
fence with it, just not on my northern border, or something to that effect. 
I was just trying to do as Her Majesty wished.
  I have not really felt the need for a personal guard, with the threat of 
Raspoli gone and others dealt with. I had always thought that the fighters 
of our area would come to aid if ever the need arose, perhaps I was 
mistaken. It would seem that the southern borders of Bonwicke are not as 
secure as I thought. I will assemble a guard and gather a few friends 
willing to help my Fair Barony and we shall deal with this threat from my 
southern borders, be it from outlaws or your "Civil Guard".
  As for the last part of your message, well the words I would write should 
not be read by mixed company or young children.
  Baron Chiang,
  Baron of Bonwicke
